Is anybody listening?
Anybody?
I’m living writing songs with my homies
Shouts 12 and young Noey, yeah
I’m trying to make a million dollars
But I don’t wanna be a phony
I just don’t know if I should
Be myself or hide
I’ll make that million faster
If I’m someone they like
And if I keep it real
Will they realize?
I hope I entertain you
Allow me in your life
Through the media
On the TV screens
I’m afraid of ya
But you’re in my dreams
I fall asleep
I lie awake
I hold on to
All my mistakes
On your TV screens
I’m afraid of ya
But you’re in my dreams
Look at me on this stage
Watch me sing
I need your approval
‘Cause it might bring
Me happiness, uh
That’s what I hope for
That when I leave here
I don’t leave it at the door
‘Cause we live for an audience
Give them what they want
Watch me smile and dance
I live for your love
Through the media
On the TV screens
I’m afraid of ya
But you’re in my dreams
I fall asleep
I lie awake
I hold on to
All my mistakes
On your TV screens
I’m afraid of ya
But you’re in my dreams
Feeling like a zombie, I’m asleep when I’m awake
Letting go of things I used to feel the need to take
My energy my enemy and best friend
My memories ahead of me my best friend, aye
Surrounded by associates and less friends
My phone is up on silent I neglect them
I used to want your love the way it validated me
But now the shit contaminated me, yeah
Hallelujah hallelujah
I was worried I would lose ya
Every piece you put together in my future
But I knew you had to do it
‘Cause you laying every brick I’m using for this movement
Thank you
Through the media
On the TV screens
I’m afraid of ya
But you’re in my dreams
I fall asleep
I lie awake
I hold on to
All my mistakes
On your TV screens
I’m afraid of ya
But you’re in my dreams
